My Portfolio
“ My portfolio showcases the heart and soul of Dunedin - from intimate weddings at the historic Fenway Hotel to sun-drenched family portraits along the Dunedin Causeway, and the vibrant energy of our Scottish-inspired festivals and events. Each photograph tells a story of our community's coastal charm, historic downtown, and the wonderful families who call Dunedin home. ”

Equipment & Style
My signature style combines photojournalistic authenticity with artistic refinement. I specialize in capturing genuine moments while ensuring each image is technically polished and visually striking. Using natural light whenever possible, I create bright, airy photographs that feel timeless and elegant. I enjoy vibrant, real color and dynamic images.
Equipment I rely on includes:
- Professional-grade Canon mirrorless cameras and lenses for exceptional image quality
- State-of-the-art lighting equipment for any shooting condition (studio & beyond).
- Advanced post-processing software for professional editing.
My approach emphasizes:
- Clean, crisp images with natural color tones.
- Thoughtful composition that draws attention to genuine emotions.
- A mix of posed and candid shots to tell your complete story.
- Attention to detail in both shooting and editing processes.
